Does anyone use peacock feathers as a Glider toy for playtime? They have them at my local pet store, they are all natural, just sterilized, and also they are not plucked but the ones that the peacocks molt at the end of breeding season.Thanks...

I do Pika just loves feathers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/muchlove.gif" alt="" /> but I run them up and down her cage and she trys to catch them and then I tickle her tummy with them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> But you can not let her have them or she will try to eat it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

So if they catch the feathers and act like they are trying to kill it.. ( much like a cat pouncing on a mouse) is that bad? What if they tear some off, will they get ill if they swallow some??Sorry for all the questions, I just haven't used feathers yet for playing. I did show it to them from outside the cage and Roxy went crazy trying to get <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/muchlove.gif" alt="" />.
